The picture says it all not again....

Rumours are that the Germans have recruited some special forces so the British do the same.

September 1 1939

Possible the first pursuit combat in the games history? On the very first attempt I found a German DD out sailing on the seas. I feel that sailing with the German fleet when the French Navy is still around feels a bit soso but it might be part of a cunning plan to drain allied oilsupply which is not all that good in the beginning.

In Poland a new approach to the invasion. The use of no airplanes and cutting off the western Polish armies.

German HQ admitted a small mistake in letting the Mech corps in Krakow move to warsaw and the mtn corps to take its place.
Picture before allied move.

Enf of allied turn

September 15 1939

After 2 turns Poland is still alive but Denamrk is not. Look at that strong defender in Warsaw [:)].

September 29 1939

But strong as it was Warsaw still falls on turn 3. Netherlands fall but the Allied air units did fine. Partly because the Luftwaffe went after and sank the Netherlands navy so that was well done. One less unit for the UK. After my recent game vs Malkarma I feel those naval units are dear to me so it hurts a bit [:)].

In this game too fairly high casualties for the Germans so not the best of starts for them in this game either.

October 13 1939

Luck or is it easier to find raiders or were they in fleet mode? Who knows, but what I do know another UK naval unit is sunk so that sucks. But at least inflicted damage was high too. Can be repaired but not for free, it will be costly. Already lost 2 naval units makes me think I should build a ship or 2 something I have never done before but how to find the money for that I have no idea [:)].

What is your counter mod?

Thanks

Hello,

This is Panzermikes countermod. He got like 10 different versions. This is number 7. I am not sure if I am a huge fan of of the arm/mech unit symbol but I do like the lighter coloured background behind the Combat values and I like the Soviets are not as dark red as in a couple of other mods. Have to change things around a bit [:)].

Thanks!

Youre welcome [:)].

October 1939

Free wine and beer on Trafalgar Square after a nice British victory at sea.

According to spy reports from Berlin the Germans thought the Task Force was a sole Canadian destroyer but they ran into the guns of the battleship Ramilies and the outcome was really nice for the UK. Medals for everyone!

Churchill have had nightmares recently where he dreams he plays a wargame and loses the whole British navy. He wakes up screaming and sweaty. After the news of the battle in the gap between Iceland and Greenland he might sleep a bit easier [:)]

Not only the naval battle but the escorts got 2 sub factors too. So 18 naval German factors gone after October 1939 is a very nice start.

Read my post in the AAR regarding you "Girls und Panzers" poster [:D]

Thanks you I did [:)]

In this game too 1939 comes to an end. Not much to report except I am happy with the naval aspect so far.

Also we have updated to Beta U16 with the new sub rules.

I shamelessly copy my opponent and goes on a victory tour through Iraq and Persia.

April 1940

We jump to April 1940. The Axis in both games have had bad luck with the weather. Not a single cold turn. So will be a bit tougher going for the Germans for sure.

Not very interesting but the situation in Egypt
